Abstract
An image read-out and reproducing apparatus comprises an acousto-optic modulator, and a change-over device for guiding zero-order light and first-order light radiated by the acousto-optic modulator to a predetermined optical path. A deflector deflects a light beam to scan an image-recorded image information sheet or a recording sheet in a main scanning direction, and a sub-scanning device moves the image information sheet or the recording sheet normal to the main scanning direction. When the image information sheet is moved by the sub-scanning device, zero-order light is guided by the change-over device to the predetermined optical path and deflected to scan the image information sheet, thereby to carry out image read-out from the image information sheet. When the recording sheet is moved by the sub-scanning device, first-order light is guided by the change-over device to the predetermined optical path, modulated in accordance with image signals and deflected to scan the recording sheet, thereby to reproduce the image on the recording sheet.
